Pizza Port Mother of All Beers

Deep mahogany in colour with a very clear first pour, thin off-white coloured head, some light lacing. The aroma is of light yeast, some sourness, light cherries, some alcohol, candy sugar sweetness. The flavour is sweet, only some light alcohol, excellent balance, lots of fruit, cherries and yeast. Sweet and slightly warming mouthfeel, medium/large body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes long, filling, warming with a fruity sweetness.

Crazy. These aged Pizza Port beers are fantastic. Very drinkable despite the high alcohol content. You would never know that it was nearing 12%. Truly unbelievable.

750ml bottle obtained in a trade with DarkElf back in July of 2005, thanks Stephen.

Bottle at the Grand Tasting. Pours a dark brown color, with a creamy tan head, and prevalent lacing. Nose has bourbon, hoppy floral notes, some chocolate, and a slight smokiness. Flavors of chocolate and sweet caramel are abundant, with brown sugar, sweet dark fruits, mango and very subtle citrus. Smooth body, with a nice bitter finish. A very drinkable quad.

Cquiroga completes the quartet of rare PP brews I thought I might never get to try with this one at RBSG. Many, many thanks sir! Pours dark brown in color, with a small off white head. Smells pretty sweet, lots of dark fruit, and maybe some candy sugar or vanilla in there. The flavor was very smooth and warming. The alcohol seemd a bit subdued, but still had some kick left in it. The flavor was more on the sweet side with some great fruit and malt combos. Another treat!

At RBSG, I didn’t take good enough notes. I just remember lovin’ this one!

Wow another rare treat from cquiroga brought to RBSG. I think this is precursor to Judgement Day, which one of my favorite beers of their regular lineup. MOAB has a great aroma. Very good. Sweetish. Dark brown color. Aged well. Frothy off-white head. Very good.
